Meridian Bank Ltd · Meridian–Lighthouse foundational literacy partnership
Yes — worth a call this week. New initiative, announced within the window, in a target expansion geography.
Meridian Bank signed a three-year, Rs 8 crore CSR partnership with Lighthouse Learning Trust for foundational literacy in 120 Mumbai municipal schools.
Shows an active education CSR budget and an NGO-partnering model in an expansion geography (Maharashtra); the specific grant is already awarded, so the angle is the annual partnership review (interpretation).
Works with NGOs; no open call stated. The bank works with NGO partners and 'reviews new partnerships annually', but this partnership has already been awarded to another non-profit.
Funding signal: Rs 8 crore over three years (stated).
Request a meeting about the bank's annual partnership review and its youth-skilling interests.
Suggested outreach angle: Complement your school literacy work with a school-to-work pathway for older students who drop out.
